New Year, so many cheaters
A month ago I started listing down every cheater and started reporting them. Most of them have a 95% headshot rate making the game terrible and one-sided. I notice that they do disappear, or at least...

@RMY_GAMES I play a lot of crossplay off, and it’s got a very small population of players. Some have become mates or at least fun to play with or against. Lately, I’ve been seeing brand new players who seem to have a remarkable sense of where everyone is, and can make some pretty amazing shots, and do it consistently. Often they’re headshots. I’ve played for 2 years in North American servers, mostly west coast but some central too. I have over 1600 hrs in the game, played since day 1 including the beta. I have run into a very small number of people I think are cheating. It’s not zero, but it’s been less than 10 up until very recently. I think the reduced cost is bringing in a poor element. I report and usually just quit when I see them have 75 kills in 5 minutes. Pretty sad really.

Community ManagerPlease do not identify any player you suspect may be cheating, this is called "Naming and Shaming" and is not allowed on Answers HQ.
If you suspect a player may be playing unfairly you can use the steps detailed at the following link to report them.

Thanks.
The screenshot I posted only contains weapons used / number of kills and headshot %, why was it deleted, there were no names
And watching the replay and he was aiming like 10cm away from me and every bullet was hitting me.
There needs to be more transparency from EA and Dice about cheating. Not just report it, and we will take appropriate action. I want to know how many people have been banned on this game since day one and each time length given.
I think there should also be something implemented to let players know a cheater has been detected in the game. It doesn't have to say who, but just that someone is cheating. These cheaters need to start being called out, even while in the game. Even let them stay in the game and maybe have their guns lock so only we can kill them, lol.

100% agree.
This is something many other game studios have nailed quite well and it genuinely helps. If you report another player, for any reason, its important to know what action, if any, has been taken.
As players, we dont need the specifics. But it would be nice to know if I have been reporting the right types of players or not.
But having useless reporting tool, garbage anti-cheat and CMs that don't really help in anyway shape or form is allowed right? EA customer service works only until you give them your money, then its "Please stop shaming cheaters, we can't ban them because they won't give us money next time"
- @EA_Barry Maybe if you guys gave a * enough to do something then nobody would post stuff like this in the forums.
Just went on Battlefield after a long hiatus from the franchise, and after spending the full amount on the game before the sale and jumping into all types of conquest games and control, all I can say is that EA doesn't do anything about the cheaters. I think I have reported more than 90 people with blatant cheating, and I am in the SEA region where bullets seem to follow you and even get you killed, even though the bullets need to make a 90-degree turn. I literally reported players just a few minutes ago due to blatant Aimbot and Bullet cheats. Imagine I was in a tank, and they managed to headsnipe me. @EA_Barry amazing what a total waste of money, can we all get a refund?
- I suggest a full refund, instead!
Lost appetite to play BF2042 anymore, waste of time = lost enjoyment on playing and lost money buying a cheating infested game.
